"I remember that early spring day vividly, with me starting off in a great mood to finish off the week, but by the end of the day, calamity had struck. Much akin to a person who leaves his house for work and never comes back, because he has had a fatal accident. The only difference was that I was dead in all ways, except physically. That night and many more subsequent nights, all I wanted to do was shrink away and hide from the world, including myself.
Many of you reading this may have gone through such a harrowing, fearful and disastrous experience yourself. Nothing made sense, and yet in some strange sort of way, it finally made sense. My ‘successful’ life was only leading me on a path towards disaster. Despite achieving it all, I was living a spiritually dead life. While I understood that there was a purpose behind all this and a Divine plan, I was way too scared of walking down this new path, and extremely anxious about my future. In hindsight, I am extremely grateful to God/Source/Universe for redirecting my future from my selfish gains, towards having me discover my true passion and purpose. I came here to this world to create my own experience. While the pain was unbearable at times, affecting my health adversely, it led me to coin a quote (loharlogic.com) –Pain is inevitable...Suffering is a choice."

"Without warning, I collapsed, feeling the carpet suddenly beneath my knees. Then, confused and mind racing, I face planted against my bedroom floor. I had quite literally fallen out of bed, and I could barely move any part of my body. All I could manage was working my nose to the side so I could breathe a bit better.
I was alone in the house and blindsided by my sudden paralysis. Using what little mobility I had, I pulled myself across the carpet on my belly until, terrified and exhausted, I reached a phone. I immediately called my husband to come get me."

"Perhaps I was destined to have a strong resolve. My grandparents had come to the United States as legal immigrants from Ischia (EE-skeeuh), an island in the bay of Naples, back when it was a rough time to be Italian in the United States. My grandfather came first, looking to make a better life for himself and his soon-to-be family.
My grandfather courted his future bride by sending romantic letters across the ocean. They obviously worked, because my grandmother soon followed, and they were married in New York City. My father and Uncle Johnny were both born in Providence, Rhode Island."

This relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding has driven my life’s work—exploring brain health and its profound connections to these common yet vexing problems. After years of rigorous clinical research, I’ve unveiled remarkably straightforward protocols that yield astonishing results. But, like the narrative arc of countless triumphs, my journey toward these revelations was fraught with adversity, trauma, and an insatiable quest for answers.

"Being safe in the digital era isn’t always intuitive to everyone. Comprehensive network assessments and security awareness training educate organizations and individuals, empowering them with the knowledge to help prevent cyberattacks.
Companies that consistently execute security awareness training are less at risk of losing time, money, and sensitive company information. The worst-case scenario for a trained team is that someone sees a genuine email and assumes it’s fraud. Enrolling your team in proactive security awareness training and engaging in comprehensive network assessments are your greatest lines of defense against falling victim to an IT Scam."

"I will never forget the fearful look on my mother’s face when she came to me, her youngest son, twenty-one years old, number nine of her ten children, and told me she didn’t have six hundred dollars to dig my father’s grave. The night before, he had died on a hospital bed in our living room after a three-year battle with colon cancer that had spread to his liver. My mom, Gladys, didn’t know what to do.
That day in 1992, I felt a mix of emotions, from shock and disbelief to anger to an even deeper sadness at an already difficult time. I was speechless. “How,” I thought over and over that day, “does a man who had been a great dad, was well known and respected in the community, and was a business owner for over thirty years leave his wife and children broke?”

"Empathy and understanding are critical factors in a mediated divorce because there is no winner or loser. The end of the process is defined by an agreed upon solution. We never outwardly discuss these factors, but they are integral to every step we take. It is important to understand that ending a marriage, even by mediation, is never painless. When the process is undertaken with empathy, a more amicable solution is attainable.
My role as a professional family law mediator puts me in the role of helping people navigate through the hard conversations. This is a process I find meaningful. Sometimes these conversations are ones the couple struggled with while they were married. A family law mediator is not a therapist. My role is not to heal a broken bond nor am I acting as an attorney advocating on anyone’s behalf. When a couple, who has agreed on a mediated divorce, retains me as their chosen mediator, I am working with both parties. This role built around mutual support creates, for many of my clients, a more positive image of what a divorce should look like".
